ITEM: AA8736L

The restore command is only restore every even fileimage

   Env:
       AIX 3.2.5
       TAPE 8mm 2.3gb   

   Desc:  The backup by name is only reading every even file image.
          I create five backups using this method:

          find \ -print | backup -ivf /dev/rmt0.1
          find \ -print | backup -ivf /dev/rmt0.1
          find \ -print | backup -ivf /dev/rmt0.1
          find \ -print | backup -ivf /dev/rmt0.1
          find \ -print | backup -ivf /dev/rmt0.1

          When I use this method to restore:
          tctl rewind
          restore -Tvf /dev/rmt0.1
          (skiped the first image and showed the second image)
          restore -Tvf /dev/rmt0.1
          (skiped the third image and showed the fourth image)

   Action:
          1.  tctl rewind
          2.  restore -s1 -Tvf /dev/rmt0.1
              This worked
              do that for each item
       
          If you use the no-rewind device you have to use the -s option.
          The restore is only a front end command to the restbyname and
          restbyinode.  The restore command just figures out what the
          format is and then runs one of the above commands.  If you use
          a no-rewind device without the -s flag
          it will skip to the next image before it runs the restbyname or
          restbyinode.
